Plenty of organisations run serious, structured training in Totara Learn, especially in sectors where certification and compliance are not optional. But there is a limit to what a completed course proves. Passing a module shows a rep knows the policy; it does not show they can hold the line when a real customer pushes back. This new integration is built to close that gap.
We are pleased to announce the Outdoo AI and Totara Learn integration. Totara Learn keeps doing what it does best, structured learning, certifications, and compliance tracking at scale, while Outdoo AI adds the practice layer on top: AI roleplay and real-call scoring that prove a learner can apply the training, not just complete it.
What the Outdoo and Totara Learn integration does
Put simply, it connects formal learning to applied skill. Totara Learn delivers and certifies the training; Outdoo turns it into practice and measures whether it stuck.
Once connected, a learner who completes a course or certification in Totara Learn can move straight into an AI roleplay built around that skill, be scored on how they handled it, and have those results feed back into their learning record. Completion stops being the finish line and becomes the start of proving competence, turning your LMS into a performance engine rather than a content repository.
Connecting learning, practice, and proof
The integration links stages that usually sit in separate systems, so a certification is backed by demonstrated skill rather than a checkbox.
- Learn: Learners complete structured courses and certification paths in Totara Learn.
- Practise: Completing a course assigns an Outdoo roleplay that puts the material into a realistic customer conversation.
- Prove: Each roleplay is scored automatically, so competence is demonstrated, not assumed.
- Reinforce: When practice or live calls reveal a gap, the learner is routed back to the right Totara Learn module or a fresh roleplay.
Bringing Outdoo practice into Totara Learn
Everything Outdoo produces can live inside your existing Totara Learn programs, so learning and development teams manage one connected system, not two.
- Roleplays as SCORM content: Outdoo AI roleplays are scored and exported in SCORM-compatible packages you can add directly to Totara Learn courses.
- Certification-backed practice: Roleplay outcomes can be attached to certification paths, so a certified learner has proven the skill, not just passed a test.
- Performance-driven learning: Learners are routed to specific modules based on how they perform in roleplays and on real calls.
- Real-call examples as assets: Annotated moments from actual conversations can be curated into playlists and used inside Totara Learn for practical, real-world context.
Bringing Totara Learn training into Outdoo
The connection runs both ways, so training activity in Totara Learn makes Outdoo's practice and coaching sharper.
- Course completion triggers practice: Finishing a Totara Learn course can automatically assign a matching Outdoo roleplay to reinforce or test the skill.
- Coaching on the knowing-doing gap: When a learner scores well in training but struggles on real calls, coaching tasks are triggered to close the gap.
- One view of learning and performance: Teams can see how training activity relates to field execution by combining Totara Learn records with Outdoo's behaviour insights.
Built for compliance and certification
Totara Learn is popular in regulated and certification-driven sectors, and the integration is built to meet the standards those teams answer to.
- SCORM, xAPI, and AICC support: Outdoo content, including roleplays and curated calls, meets all major learning-standard requirements.
- Audit-ready evidence: Learning and practice activity is time-stamped, versioned, and linked to performance data, so demonstrating that certified people can apply their training is straightforward.
- Enterprise-grade security: Data exchanged between Outdoo and Totara Learn follows enterprise security standards and regional compliance frameworks.
